They say: A magnificently restored portion of a fine Victorian Gothic mansion set in idyllic farmland. The property comprises four bedrooms, two reception rooms as well as a grand entrance hall. The views are charming and it has garaging too.

We say: With its 16ft-high ceilings, this has stately-home overtones. But the kitchen is minute (for the staff, perhaps) and the dining room seems rather squashed on to a galleried landing, which could lead to some tricky situations after a few glasses of port. But the panelling and plaster work are wonderful.

They say: A striking and beautifully presented converted granary laid out over three floors in a popular, picturesque location. There are four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a courtyard garden and double garage.

We say: There's also a large garden room, which would probably make the upstairs reception room redundant. You might want to countrify the paved garden a little to fit with your rural surroundings – the village has a pub, bakery and regular farmer's market.

They say: Sited on the south-west corner of a highly sought-after square, this five-storey, three-bedroom, five-reception house is presented in excellent decorative order, with lovely open vista to the rear.

We say: For a house of this size, there are not enough bedrooms – though two of the five receptions could be easily become extra bedrooms, leaving the whole of the ground and lower-ground floors as living space. And there's a dumb waiter running between the kitchen and the dining room above.

They say: Delightful 1930s family house and garden with four bedrooms. The owners have created a fabulous 26ft triple-aspect kitchen and breakfast/living room, and despite being in woodland and fields, the property is only an hour from the capital.

We say: There's currently only one bathroom, but it does have planning permission for a large extension. Outside, the bluebell woods are gorgeous and there's a waterfall and treehouse.
